BOOST PERFORMANCE AND BATTERY
This tutorial will help you boost your performance of your phone as well as the battery. I created this thread to those users who uses Android Nougat, Android Marshmallow also applies to this tutorial. But also other roms might suit to this.
Also this tutorial is based from my experience.
Note:
If anything happens to your device I'm not responsible for it. Follow at your own RISK!

Just follow my steps...
Greenify
1. Download and Install required apps
2. Open Greenify
For this part you'll need to set "Working Mode" to Root with "Shallow Hibernation" as "Enabled" (you can enable Aggressive Doze if it suits you, you can just follow my settings below).

3. Go to this part (it is where you open greenify)
Tap the "+" sign to add apps, in this part we will add apps that uses cellular network (text, calls, data), and wifi. BUT we will just add those apps that are not always use and apps that uses too much resources.
For instance, add browser (e.g. Chrome), Facebook, Messenger, Gmail, Games, Google App, and anything else.
In general I recommend you to add Games, Browsers, Messengers and Email apps that consumes a lot of resources. You can add the apps you want.
L-Speed
Follow the settings
Previously, we focused on Greenify which will help you improve your battery.
Now, some of it's settings here improves network speed, performance of phone and battery.
But, ofc I always recommend you choosing "Balanced" Profile on 'Profiles, IO Tweaks, and LNET Optimizer"
My settings here is my thing which I'm comfortable with.
NOTE: If you get music bug disable "MPDecision" on "CPU Hotplugs"
Credits to the owner of the apps for such a wonderful apps they made xD

I will never use the Messages app to send a picture (yes, never. I don't have an SMS plan) so I'd like to be able to remove it from the sharing list from the Gallery. Is there any way to choose which apps show up in that sharing list?
Thanks.

Only by removing the apps. You could go into the Messaging App Info page, and Disable it. As a warning, though, Messaging is one of the core OS apps, and disabling it could possibly cause instability. I've never had any reason to try it, but just keep it in mind in case you have issues; you can always re-enable it.

Any idea if this is the kind of thing a custom ROM could enable: choosing which apps show up in the menu?

Anything's possible; that could certainly happen. I don't see it as being a very widely anticipated feature, though. Just out of curiosity, I'm not sure if you noticed, but after you've used the sharing menu a few times, it shows only your top 3 apps (technically 2nd, 3rd, and 4th) that you've used for sharing, and then a "See All..." button below it. Also, your foremost sharing app will show up as an icon to the right of the sharing icon. Example below, with imgur, Messaging, Kik, and Gmail.

Just use Quickpic is is really good. I use it as my main gallery. Also has the option to hide stuff.
Thanks for the ideas.
LFP (Looking for Players) is a simple app that helps gamers find each other. It tries to emulate the bulletins boards in real life. LFP does not require an account to use but does require a persistent Internet connection. The three tabs (Response, Post, and Search) contain all of the functionality of the application.
Response lists the games you have listed with a list of people that are interested in playing that game with you. Tapping the X next to the game title removes the listing while the x next to a name removes that user. This list refreshes every time the app starts and every 15 minutes if left open.
Post allows you add a game to the server specifying the game, in-game name, platform, days and the approximate starting time. Anything posted is automatically deleted after one week.
Search goes through the available listings and returns a list grouped by time. All times are corrected for the local time zone. Clicking a listing within the group generates a dialog to notify the person that you are interested in gaming at that time.
Currently, I want to know:
• How responsive the app is.
• Is LFP intuitive to use?
• Are the colors appealing? How can I improve the theme, nothing too fancy for I am not an artist.
• Does this app accomplish its goal of being a bulletin board for gamers?
• If this was in the app store how much would you pay for it?
• Bugs and annoyances.
This was designed for use on a phone but it does run on tablets but its not coded to take advantage of the additional space.
**EDIT** This is the alpha so there isn't a large user base so there are 0 posts at the moment. Therefore everyone needs to post and search for the same 5 games: Pirate Sushi, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 3, Roller Rally:Snake Pass, Combat Wings: The Great Battles of WWII, and Quarrel.

Thanks for your work!
Cool idea!
Thanks, I'm contacting people on that UI designer list to create a new color scheme for this app. That's a common complaint. Which is not surprising at all really.
Very responsive, haven't ran into any glitches yet

Chrome for Android is one of the fastest and most feature-rich browsers for Android. But a persistent problem has ruined Google’s mobile browser for many users – janky scrolling.
Especially since Google replaced the AOSP Browser with Chrome as the default browser on new Android devices, people have been complaining about a perceived lag when scrolling through web pages (except simple ones) or swiping and resizing. And it’s not a problem of hardware, as the old Browser was consistently performing better in this area even on two-year old devices.
Now Redditor erythrocytes64 suggested a simple tweak that actually seems to work at making Chrome for Android scroll smoother. We tried it ourselves on two devices, and the change, while not tremendous, is visible. In addition, many commenters on the Reddit thread report positive results.
Without further ado, this is what you have to do:
Type or paste chrome://flags in the URL bar in Chrome for Android
Find the Maximum tiles for interest area (#max-tiles-for-interest-area ) flag in the list
From the dropdown, change from Default to 512
Tap on the Relaunch Now button to commit the change.
What the change seems to do is allocate more RAM to Chrome for Android, and improve the scrolling speed in the process. The caveat is that, especially on devices with less RAM, other apps might be purged from memory sooner because Chrome gets more of it. If that’s an issue for you, try experimenting with different values instead of 512, e.g. 256.
Flags in Chrome (for Android and for desktop) are experimental and meant to allow advanced users to tweak things that are not quite suitable for the average user. If anything goes awry, you can always clear application data to revert to the default settings.
i will try this as i use chrome very thanks for the tip

good tip. seems to work. thanks for sharing
This is a good bit of advice. Giving Chrome a bigger heap comes at a cost
Hey there, I wanted to show a new kind of battery drain that is happening to my 5X since two weeks every now and then (about 3 or 4 days).
(Nexus 5X with the latest PureNexus 6.0.1 on ElementalX kernel with HawkTail settings)
Apparently at some point, applications like Play Services, MoneyLover, Whatsapp, Tasker, App Google, Weather Timeline, Office Suite, Phone, Google Opnion Rewards, Zooper Widget start keeping alive the device with wakelocks called *alarm* or wake:[service for sync of the app] draining in an insane manner the battery (the first processor of the LITTLE chip is always at max speed).
The really odd thing is this Bluetooth graph in BetterBatteryStats:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Apparently, even if it's off, the bluetooth keep switching on and off. But the thing is that in every wakelock app I cannot find anything anormal related to the bluetooth (of course, it's off) which led me to think that maybe the graph is measuring something else.
Someone could say that it's fault of some app or even of the Play Services, but I tested even with every Google sync service disabled and nothing changed: the drain continued.
Looks like something the cause is really something system-wide because it's causing A LOT of apps misbehaving in this peculiar way.
I tried using the Battey Historian Tool, but I didn't manage to extrapolate useful information. The misbehaviour seems to stop after a reboot and after it recharged completely. Even disabling wifi and data gave no effect.
Here some screenshots of stats:
In summary, I could really use an hand in diagnosing what the hell is happening here because I am not understanding anything and I saw my fair share of wakelock problems, but nothing like this one. I'd like to undestand something before trying a factory reset.
On Friday I received a notification on my phone that an update was available for my T810S that I'm running in the USA on Cricket!

}
So, it's finally available!
Anyways, I just finished up backing up the images and other things from my phone, and am going to try installing it tonight.
My 64GB SD card has been full for some time, and I was saving stuff to the internal phone memory, which I don't like to do. But, I got everything copied to my PC, my RAID server and my backup drive, so I'm going to clean the items from my phone and do the update.
I sure hope that this fixes the notification issues.
Alright, I was able to successfully install the Android 12 update!
I really like the upgraded looks of the user interface changes, and it showed me a nice little tour of the Android 12 features. The extended screenshot capability feature could be really useful.
I'll give an update in a few days to let you know how it's working.
Here are the screenshots.
After clicking the install button it started showing a slow percentage increase, so I left it alone for half an hour while I did other stuff. When I came back, it was showing this.
After the update, it showed this:
Here's the About Phone screen, showing that I'm now running Android 12.
Just a quick update to let you all know that everything has been working well for my TCL 20 Pro 5G (T810S) since I installed the Android 12 update. I actually get notifications from all of my applications, and battery life doesn't seem to be any different than when I was on Android 11. Having notifications from all apps again is a real game changer for me!
I uninstalled and reinstalled some of the applications that I had previously manually tweaked the power settings on.
The only oddity that I noticed, is that if I have JBV1 auto-start with Android Auto (like I've always had), it locks up Waze and freezes Android Auto! I need to look into why that is happening, but for now I just disabled the auto-start functionality of JBV1.
